What Screen protector do you recommend for Z5c? Does the phone have Gorilla Glass or do we absolutely need to attach a screen protector? (I refuse to put the included plastic screen protector on the phone! Just wondering if I risk damaging the screen until a proper glass arrives)
No gorilla glass on Xperia phones. The manufacturer of the tempered glass Sony uses is unknown, as far as I I've heard on the Internets.

This tempered glass is a perfect fit
Roxfit Xperia Z5 Compact Screen Protector (Tempered Glass) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015ECYX2O/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_3u4gwb655JA4T
Highly recommend tempered glass, coming from z3c. It's a MUST
Save the lame Sony supplied plastic screen guard for when you later resell the phone, its worthless as protection. With tempered glass the tactile feel is as if there's no protector (as you'd expect) highly advised over plastic :thumbup:
This case is a great interim case until the alimighty Devil Case come through.
Orzly® - FlexiSlim Case for SONY XPERIA Z5 COMPACT (2015 SmartPhone Model / Smallest Version / XPERIA Z5 MINI) - Super Slim (0.35mm) Protective Phone Cover in Semi Transparent WHITE https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015PRSGDU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_gw4gwb3M6HF4H
It's not supurb protection on drop as its only rubber BUT great fit and coverage for sure.
Both items came delivered in 1 and 2 days respectively
They're a company from Taiwan. Been using their metal bumper, front and back glass protector for my past Sony Xperia Z2 and Z3. I would highly recommend their product. Reasonable pricing and excellent customer service. Stay tune for their glass protector which will launch in couple of weeks. So far, they had lauched the soft case and lens protector for S7.

I've just upgraded from my first Android, a chunky and sturdy Samsung Mini 2, to Zuk Z1. Needless to say, I'm super-hyper-worried to scratch its screen. Tbh I don't like the cons of using a protection (less responsive touch? more oily screen?), but from what I've read it's not clear whether Zuk Z1 has Gorilla Glass. Although I'm a careful person, would you advise I buy a protection? If so should I choose a normal screen protector or tempered glass? Thanks in advance
Tempered glass for sure. I'm using those since 2 devices and they feel the same like the original glas.
And they are easy to apply
I bought my zuk z1 in India and seems like a tempered glass was preappllied. It's already there, factory fitted. Can you check to see if you already have one on?

I'm almost sure I don't have any tempered glass pre-applied. It would have been lucky :<
There is no tempered glass preapplied, maybe from that Indian seller but there is no protector.
Tempered glasses are scam. I have one on ZUK Z1. Slight bump and its already chipped. Various sites on the net prove that Tempered glasses do not help much with drops. Its just about scratches. IF you can, get one with oleophobic coating. The normal ones its annoying to remove the oil stains.
I'm using this one since 4 months and it's great in combination with bumper on backside:

It's very easy to apply cause it's like a glass plate to lay on the display. The fingerprints are not as easy to wipe off like without the glass protector, but the reaction is as good as without, so better with protection [emoji106]

No, there's no tempered glass already pre-applied as you'd be able to see it next to home button aswell, not only by earphone. It's gorilla glass just poorly applied.
I recommend tempered glass as there's no 'plastic' feeling when using screen and it feels exactly same as original glass. Also if phone falls from non-extreme height there's big chance tempered glass will crack instead of screen.
Which is the best glass I can buy on USA? I drop my phone with case and with a tempered glass I purchased on Amazon and the phone broke .

Got the whitestone dome tempered glass on mine. Perfect.
